OK; hate to drag this on but I think we are all missing the point here , Jay asked the question, is the 7.62x39 enough to kill a deer? Yes it is. and if he want`s to do it with an sks,thats entirely up to him.. My point is that is if a guy wants to hunt he doesn`t have to resort to buying some clunkie surplus war weapon.. My brother stopped by here this evening with a brand new Winchester and a full box of ammo he got for 200 bucks. It`s all a matter of what a person wants or likes. Just like this forum;; Its all about oppinions and oppinions are just like as---les ...EVERYBODY has one, and they all STINK<img src=icon_smile_clown.gif border=0 align=middle>
